Fall 2007

 


Jewelry, like clothes and other accessories, help to define a woman's personal style. Jewelry this season is best described when brought into context with what is new for fall. If gray and black abound then light and breezy should follow. A lot of the earrings we love are ethnic and airy with cutouts. Hoops, bangles and rings continue to look so great for the woman that wants to wear a little diamond without looking pretentious. I would know this has become my favorite staple. Stacking micro bangles/rings is a great way to mix golds:yellow, pink and white.

Rose gold is huge. Gone is the "vintage rose" that your Grandmother wore. Big bold pendants and bangles from Susanne Foster in LA are a gorgeous take on rose gold!

What better way to emphasize the 3/4 length sleeve than with a bracelet. There are so many interpretations of bracelets from diamond to the retro and funky thin ID bracelets (JL Rocks private label).

This season and the spring '08 runway shows of this week all give high priority to femininity, beautiful deconstructed femininity that allows the woman's body and elegance to speak. The clothes are elegant by design with detail but the overall look is simplicity. Your jewelry purchases (and hopefully gifts) should reflect elegant simplicity with an element of personal style. When you think of the classic DVF wrap dress you think of large hoops, a great set of bangles and maybe even a bold statement ring worn on your right hand.
